The Library Slip

[Intro]
[Verse]
Library slip inside a book
Gave it one more heavy look
Your name in ink of pale blue
Back when I still really knew you
Faded dates from ninety-nine
When your world was mostly mine
Now the paper’s thin and dry
Like a long and quiet sigh
[Chorus]
The kitchen light is amber low
Where did all our stories go?
Now I’m talking to your ghost
Someone I once loved the most
The silence has a heavy weight
Coming just a little late
[Post-Chorus]
(Humming in the hollow air)
(Tracing shadows on the chair)
(Ooh, the garden’s growing wild)
(Like a long-forgotten child)
[Verse]
Chipped ceramic on the shelf
Like a piece of your old self
Coffee stains from years ago
Things we didn't need to know
Dented fender in the shed
Words we never really said
Rusting in the winter damp
By the flickering street lamp
[Pre-Chorus]
There was no sudden storm
Just a fire once so warm
Then the embers turned to grey
In a slow and steady way
[Chorus]
The kitchen light is amber low
Where did all our stories go?
Now I’m talking to your ghost
Someone I once loved the most
The silence has a heavy weight
Coming just a little late
[Bridge]
The number’s still the same
But I can’t speak your name
My thumb hovers on the glass
Watching all the seasons pass
We didn't break or bend
We just reached a quiet end
[Chorus]
The kitchen light is amber low
Where did all our stories go?
Now I’m talking to your ghost
Someone I once loved the most
The silence has a heavy weight
Coming just a little late
[Outro]
